what is a good regulator water seperator?
 

Getting ready to start doing some painting and am looking for a good reg seperator. my compressor is a 2 stage 5 hp with 150 max.all lines are run with galvanized pipe and drain valves at all the drops.dont want to spend a ton but, want to get some decent stuff.had a harbor freight set up with my old compressor but it fell apart when I tried to clean and drain it. anybody got any brand they have had good luck with and would recommend?

Went out yesterday and bought my reg. sep. combo. ended up buying a set up from a commercial paint equip company. I got a wilkerson reg and waterseperator.little pricey but, I can buy any replacement part locally if something were to go wrong.had a harbor freight set up before but, it fell apart when I tried to clean it

I like 50' of metal pipe sloped to drain; typically nothing left for water separator to catch.

lol i bought a hf setup 4 years ago it sat in the box till about over a month ago when i finally ran my 220 too the garage. right outa the box the reg leaked a lil' rtv on the diaghram an it was good. the filter had a cracked bowl rite outa the box so it also leaked also (i didnt notice when i opened too make sure everything was there)
I didnt hook up the oiler (i'll add my own oil) well just last nite i used the ac too pump up the trailer tires and didnt shut the line valve off. lil while later i heard the ac running an sumtin hissing yep you guessed it the reg diaphram blew out...................hf junk might as well throw the oiler in the trash too:lol:,,,so this thread intrestets me also cause im in need
